Van and Laura -

So very sorry to read of Keith's passing. You have my sincere condolences. Taft Place seems like it was only yesterday and you and your family always held a special place in the hearts of my folks and me. Take care and may God be with you.

Mary Lynn and family,
You have my deepest sympathy. Keith will be missed by his "old" classmates at Horace Mann.
Fondly,

You will be missed on Saturdays in the bar with the CATS and Sunday mornings in the church, old friend.

Speak well of us to our Lord.
